It's one of the best role playing games ever made.

While based on a book, you have a great deal of freedom and there are numerous paths available and multiple endings.

Combat is a steep learning curve, but the exploration and conversations you will have make up for this.

The world of The Witcher 2 is genuinely breathtaking. Beautifully designed, with a wonderful weather system, this game is enjoyable to just be in. The sound is similarly detailed and fits perfectly with the game. There's a lot to see in The Witcher 2, and some decisions have huge implications, meaning there is a lot of scope for replaying the game.

If you're looking for a single player fantasy role playing game - The Witcher 2 is a masterpiece. It may not be the most accessible, but once you are in its grip, it won't let go until the end.
